This is where the story of "Brass Teapot" begins.
The beginning of the film is a series of exquisite scrolls. People from different historical periods have painted a teapot that can be exquisite or simple. After a long time in the painting, the appearance of the teapot remains the same. After that, the picture changed and it came to an ordinary family. A young couple was naked in bed and fell in love for the last moment before going to work and applying for a job, and said what they thought, "If there are a million, I will be there all day long. Accompany you in bed", the story begins here. In life, the rent urged by the landlord, John's layoff, Alice's failed interview, and the huge pressure overwhelmed the young couple. By accident, Alice got the magical brass teapot. And soon discovered that if you get hurt or pain near the teapot, money will spit out of the teapot. At first, John thought it was unreliable and even wanted to sell the teapot, but then he gradually fell into the magic of the teapot. From the beginning of roasting hands on the fire, hair removal in beauty salons, tattoos, SM whipping each other, to discovering that you can feel the pain of others, going to watch boxing matches, giving birth, tattoos, saying things that hurt each other, and revealing the secret hurts of others others. Of course, people kept coming to the door during the period. The grandson of the last teapot owner, the friends of Alice and John, the landlord, and the generations looking for the teapot to hide it, they all snatched or smashed or persuaded them to give up the teapot, but desire How could it be so easy to be satisfied, the humming of the teapot attracts them to continue owning it. Soon, the safe was filled with money. But then the initial minor injuries only caused the teapot to spit out a few coins, and Alice had thoughts of murder. John began to realize that things were starting to get out of control, forced to death, Alice finally decided to give up the teapot, but the teapot was snatched away. In order to stop the magic of the teapot, the two followed the landlord who snatched the teapot, and took the post of the teapot owner when they were about to regain the teapot. His grandson was also bewitched. The couple realized that it was the incarnation of a demon, and gave it to Mr. Li, who was looking for it to make it lose its magic. Although the teapot still buzzed and hummed to tempt the couple, it was eventually returned to the doctor. Although the young couple has nothing to return to their original form, they live happier lives.
The film’s story narrative is compact, there is no too weird camera switching, but the focus is on telling the story, not making people feel very long and boring, it is tightly linked, and the connection is natural. The hue changes from bright at first, and gradually darker as the story develops. Alice's makeup and outfits also changed from naked little Mori girls to big smoky black tights. Among them, the relationship between the couple and their friends has changed from bad to good. One is the main line to tell the story of the couple, and the other is the hidden line of the relationship with friends, the landlord and Mr. Li. The story is not monotonous.
Among the teapot owners, there have been kings, queens, dictators, priests, farmers, and generals who have passed through the hands of tens of thousands of people, but none of them can take the initiative to put down the teapot. Like a mouse in a rice tank, after falling in, he is unwilling to come out again. It is said that there is no pie in the sky, geniuses are in the minority, and what is needed more is the stupid bird to fly first. Among them is a pair of brothers with beards and top hats. They claim to be the owner of the teapot, the grandson of the old woman. They know that the teapot is a monster, and they just don't want to touch him for money. Their grandmother was supposed to be able to drink tea and play mahjong like ordinary old people, but his grandmother wanted to frame others all day long. From the conversation, it was implied that their grandma stole the teapot from Hitler, the great dictator. Is the Hitler massacre for the money in the teapot? Unknown, it is also a small highlight in the film. I have watched a short film. The editing method in the film is very special. It starts with the two people breaking up. As time goes by, it is their quarrels, cohabitation, first date and bar encounters. At the beginning, they were impatient to happiness and indifferent. To insomnia, it hurts each other to approach nervously. If life is just like seeing it at first, stay in the original beauty. There is not so much greedy possession, but what will it be like to grasp the original beauty?
If you have a brass teapot, will you give it away in the end? Will you stop the endless greed and throw it into the sea?
